Tourist accused of kissing daughter, 8, faces 15 years in jail

AN Italian tourist has been arrested in Brazil after onlookers reported him to police for kissing his eight-year-old daughter.

The man, 48, could face up to 15 years behind bars under the country’s strict new law designed to combat child sex abuse.

However, his Brazilian wife says the case is all a misunderstanding, while staff at the resort where the incident took place have been reported as saying they saw nothing unusual.
